I enjoyed college and was fortunate enough to enjoy a good white collar career. But if I could do it all over again, I would have learned how to become a licensed electrician, plumber, etc.

    No, I work a high paying desk job and super lucky I do because of a back injury I would not be able to do most trades for any extended amount of time.

    Yes!! Would rather have the wear and tear on my body than the mental toll of corporate culture.

    Having worked in both, the physical ease doesn’t make up for the culture.
